Experiencing Outside Ankle Pain? Causes and Solutions

Ankle pain,on the outside

1 Answer
Dr. Pramod Bhor

Joint Replacement Surgeon

Answered on 8th Mar '25

Experiencing discomfort on the outer part of your ankle can stem from various causes, such as strained ligaments, tendon issues, or even inflammation. Common signs include swelling, tenderness, and difficulty with movement. To support recovery, consider rest, ice application, and gentle elevation of the foot. Over-the-counter medications may also help manage pain. If these symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend seeking professional evaluation from a orthopedist. They can offer tailored advice and ensure there are no underlying concerns.

Hi..I am a 39 year old female and slipped and fell on a wet floor at a function that I attended. However my foot started swelling up and my knee and the side of my knee is painful and swollen although I can walk with a limp so I don't think anything is broken...could it be Muscle injury or tendons etc...

Female | 39

According to the symptoms you are going through, it is likely that you bruised your knee or your muscles or tendons around it got injured. This might present as a combination of swelling, pain, and immobility of the leg Lie down while putting your feet up, apply a cold compress to the area, stretch your leg, and wrap it with a long elastic bandage to reduce swelling. If the pain persists, replays, or intensifies, or you find it hard to bear its weight, go to the orthopaedist.

I am a 17-year-old female who is recovering from a mild knee ligament stretch. I had a splint for 2 weeks and had been recovering for over a month. Yesterday, I played badminton because my knee felt good. However, I had an awkward fall and twisted my knee. It hurt at first, but I can walk and climb stairs relatively normally. It hurts when I fully straighten my knee or tighten it. There is no buckling of the knee. The pain is a little achey and a little dull. I don't know which one exactly. What should I do? Is it okay if I resume normal activities, but just be more careful and elevate my leg when I sit or lie down?

Female | 17

You might have twisted your knee again while playing badminton. Aching dull pain when you try to straighten or tighten your knee could mean the ligament has been pulled too hard. It’s great that you can still walk and go upstairs. To let it get better, you should rest as much as possible, put your leg up from time to time, and avoid doing anything too hard for a while.

I have a sprain in my finger for 2 weeks

Male | 23

Your finger has be­en sprained. This happens whe­n the ligaments (bands connecting bone­s) stretch or tear. It leads to pain, swe­lling, and trouble moving your finger. To aid recove­ry, rest your finger. Ice it. Wrap it with a bandage­. Keep it ele­vated. Don't move it exce­ssively until the discomfort subsides.

My mother is suffering from arthritis for decades. She has twisted toes, fingers and other joints. do you have som program for arthritis patients.

Female | 66

This disease causes the joints to become sore and start to become stiff. Swollen fingers and toes are usual symptoms. Arthritis occurs when the cushion located in a joint degenerate. It can be a result of aging, an old injury, or the genetic background. To assist, your mother can engage in some light exercising, eat healthy food, and take medication prescribed by a doctor.
